BRAZIL-Brazilian Food Co Perdigao Puts 2,300 Workers On Paid Leave
One of Brazil’s largest food companies, Perdigao SA (PDA), said Tuesday it will put 2,300 workers on paid leave next month as domestic and international demand for chicken slows. The workers were based at a chicken meat-packing plant in Brazil’s southern-most state, Rio Grade do Sul. Chicken meat production will stop as of March 23 at the facility and start again on April 22, Perdigao said.
